Happy Saturday!!I'm so excited that the weekend is HERE!!! I have two days to just relax and stamp if I want to....ahhhhh paradise eh?Today is Lauren's My Time To Create Challenge and this week it's a colour challenge.

I decided to use Really Rust, Old Olive, More Mustard and Choc Chip for my colours.

Of course I wanted to use a Weiman Wrangler again too! This is Cowboy Ethan. You can buy the digi image HERE and all proceeds will be going to the Make A Wish Foundation.While you are on the Pink Cat Studio web page...take a look at the total raised so far!!! It's amazing!! Thank you to everyone who has downloaded the images!

Digi Images: Cowboy Ethan; Cardstock: PTI white, Really Rust, Old Olive, Choc Chip, More Mustard DSP; Accessories: Copics, Star punches, Oval Nesties, Ribbon, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Antique Brad, DimensionalsNow stop on by the My Team To Create Blogs(listed on my right side bar) and see what fabulous creation they came up with...I know it's amazing ;)Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!ETA: Brenda just asked about using the digi image and I thought I'd answer here in case others have questions too :) When you download the image you can resize it to ANY size you like which is a nice feature...especially with sentiments that you want smaller to fit into say a punch you'd like to use. As for what I print on....it's usually just white cardstock. My printer doesn't like THICK cardstock so I usually use Whisper White, GinaK, Taylored Expressions or even Georgia Pacific from Walmart...lolHope I've helped Brenda...if not...shoot me an email!

Last week our dear friend and fellow My Time Team member, Alicia lost her son.Ethan was super special and you can read up on it all here on Alicia's blog. She is amazing.Lauren is such a giving person and wanted to do something to honour Ethan's memory. She teamed up with Melissa from Pink Cat Studio to design some digi images called Cowboy Ethan and Cowgirl Ava. All proceeds from these images will go to the Make a Wish Foundation. Stop by the Pink Cat Studio page HERE that Melissa set up to read all the details.

Here are a couple samples I made with the images.

Digi Images: Cowboy Ethan; Cardstock: Choc chip, Old olive, White and Scenic route dp; Inks: Copics; Accessories: Nesties, Brads, HPH, Ribbon, Small Star punch, DimensionalsThis one uses both Cowgirl Ava and Cowboy Ethan. Being that these are digi images you can take them into your photo editing program and move them around. I choose to put them together and made it look like they were holding hands.

Good Morning!I got a few things stamped yesterday and will hopefully get more done today!Chloe and her dad are off spending the day together! It's so nice that they can do that every now and then. I know some people who never spend the day like that with their kids...sad really :(I think it's a GREAT way for them to celebrate Father's Day!Here is a card I made with the new In Colour....Rich Razzleberry.This is a SU! only card. I was SO excited to see that Season of Friendship made it into the catty this year!!! The ribbon is the Razzleberry Polka Dots...turned to the solid side. Truth be told...I don't really like the polka dotted side....lol

Good Morning and welcome to the June 20th KI Blog Hop!I've been excited to show you this card which I made last week with the Taylored ExpressionsJune 20th Key Ingredients.This month Taylor challenged us to make a gift or card for a June Celebration and we were to add some sort of dimension to our project. Want to know what the kicker was? NO COPICS!So....I started by stamping the cute bear from Beary Special onto Choice Snow White Cardstock with Memento Black Ink(twice). I then coloured both images with Prismacolour Pencils and Gamsol.My dimension comes from a few layers of cardstock, nesties and the bear being popped up on dimensionals. Isn't that ribbon YUMMY?! I had a hard time capturing the colour of the ribbon...it looks blue here but it isn't...lol I think it's Orchid.

Here is a shot to show the dimension. I even gave the sentiment banner some dimension ;)The sentiment comes from the A Year of Sweet Sentiments.

Stop by one half of the Baker's Dozen who are playing along with this month's KI Subscription!
